Artistic Sketched Garden fun fold card with free project sheet & video

April 27, 2026

I shared this neat accordion card on last week’s video. Most Tuesdays at 11 am CT I post a Live video on my FB page here. Then the following week I share the free project sheet for it here on my blog. Be sure to follow me here by subscribing to my blog on the right side, my YouTube Channel or my FB page. Don’t miss a thing!

I featured the Artistic Sketched Garden designer paper here; it’s new and will be available in the upcoming 2026 May – August Stampin’ Up! catalog. Each sheet is a black & white combination of florals or prints.

I paired it with Melon Mambo and Black here. The vase of flowers is fussy cut from a sheet of the DSP. I used the Perennial Postage dies to cut a piece of In Color DSP as a background. That simple strip of Black CS really sets of the colors here.

You can’t tell what type of fun fold it is in the photo above. But look at this one:

It’s so cool and gives you plenty of places to add designer paper. Here’s the free project sheet for all three cards. Click here to download or print it.

In the video below you’ll see how I made this card and two more easy fun folds. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

Saturday I held my new catalog launch party and I thought you'd like to see my displays too. Unfortunately I did not receive many of my card swaps in time, but I had some and I had made quite a few samples myself. I worried my boards would be empty but I think they turned out quite well.

This first photo shows off two displays; from left to right – the Circle Sayings bundle, the Countryside Inn Suite, the Bright & Beautiful suite and the Little Monkey bundle.

Here are a few close-ups of these two:

this was a clear favorite of many. I'll be featuring this beautiful Countryside Inn DSP for one of my May kits to go. Many people asked about the cute baskets; I'll feature them on an upcoming video.

And here's the incredible Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6" designer paper. Amazing color combos and patterns! This is another contender for my May card kits….

I use inexpensive foam boards from the dollar store and attach my projects with either poster putty or clips.

And here are my kits to go boards; I prepped extra kits for my April offerings. You can see and purchase them on my Shop here. Remember you can save $$ on shipping when you purchase more than one.

I'll share more tomorrow; the new catalog goes live May 2nd!!

Timeless Arrangements with Countryside Inn DSP; all new!

April 28, 2023

I've been super busy prepping for my new catalog launch party tomorrow. If you're in or near Minot, ND please stop in at 1st Lutheran Church from 10-12:30 pm. There's lots to see!!

I always join a few online swaps so I can get great samples for my display boards. I made this pretty card for one of them.

I chose the Timeless Arrangements bundle and added squares of Countryside Inn designer series paper. I've used this layout before and thought it would work well with the dies in the Timeless Arrangements bundle.

Ad you can see on the dies shown below there are 4 different dies that they've added a long piece to; it's perfect to add to the stitched greeting dies for layering. And they're spaced differently so they layer perfectly with each other!

My colors are Balmy Blue, Night of Navy with a splash of Lemon Lime Twist. I'm so glad this happy color is back in our color line!

The new catalog goes live May 2nd; you can order from it then. In the meantime don't forget that you are welcome to pre-order either my In Color bundle (details here) or my new Designer Paper Share (details here).
